08:15:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:15:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:15:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:15:46 User actions detected.
08:15:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:15:46 Dome is MaxDome
08:15:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:15:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:15:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@081124 UTC
08:15:46 Imager readout modes:
08:15:46   0 is Fast
08:15:46   1 is Normal
08:15:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:15:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:15:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:15:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:15:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:15:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:15:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:15:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:15:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
